The Division of Wildlife Resources is welcoming public input on proposed changes to this year’s pheasant hunts. The DWR is recommending that there be just one general pheasant hunt that would start the first Saturday of November and end on the first Sunday of December. The hunt would be open on both public and private land while in the past, the chance to hunt for 30 days was only available on public land. The hunt on private land ended after just 14 days. A conservation group called Pheasants Forever came up with the idea and brought it before the DWR. The change would make it easier to know when the hunt begins and ends. Regional Advisory Council meetings are starting up around the state and the public is welcome to offer input as those approach. The Northeastern Region meeting held in Vernal is scheduled for
May 11th at 6:30pm
